Tangled By Fate

Chapter 527 THE LIBRARY

"Is it just me or you have become feistier?"

Veronica asked him back, "Is it just me or do you behave more like a human than an elf?"

"Isn't it because you are a human? Wouldn't it be a bit weird if I spoke like an elf in front of you? I thought you would like it if I spoke like a human."

"I don't like your very existence! You tried to kidnap me!"

"You still remember that? Oh well, if you know now, this place is way safer for you."

"That's for me to judge. Now, go to your house. Don't bother me anymore."

Saying her mind, Veronica turned around and left.

Urulas followed her. Before he left, he looked at Dastan. Noticing Urulas watching him vigilantly, Dastan smirked. Veronica aimlessly walked toward the river and muttered, "I hate that guy."

"Why do you dislike him so much?" Feeling curious, Urulas asked. "He kidnapped you a long time ago. Are you still holding a grudge because of that?"

"No, but something about him always gets on my nerves. Just his very existence makes me mad. I don't know why."

"Be careful around him," Urulas warned her in a light tone.

"I am careful!" Veronica exclaimed.

"That's not what I mean." Urulas explained, "He is goofing off in front of you but he might be scheming behind your back."

"So, he is that kind of person. I should have known better."

"That's not it. He is the firstborn. Our father loves him very much because, in some way, they are very much alike. He is going to take the throne one day. If he is not cunning, he won't be able to rule this realm."

Veronica sneered, "With his attitude, he will only cause war, nothing more."

Urulas chuckled. He was amused by her negativity toward his eldest brother.

He said, "Believe it or not, all the peace talk comes from his mouth."

Veronica sneered, "All fake. I don't believe a word that comes from his mouth."

Urulas commented, "You surely get worked up when it comes to him."

"Do I? I don't think so!" Veronica refused to accept his theory.

"You do. You didn't even realize that you are speaking loudly," Urulas pointed out.

Veronica covered her mouth and scanned their surroundings.

"Fret not. No one is around," Urulas eased her worry.

"Was I truly speaking too loud?" she whispered.

"Loud enough. If it was another person, they would think you like Aeolus."

"Eww! This is an insult to my husband!"

Veronica shivered in disgust.

"Do you want to stay here or go to the library?"

"Library!"

"I will show you the way."

Urulas walked forward and Veronica followed him from behind.

They walked for around twenty minutes.

When she opened her mouth to complain, Urulas announced, "We are here."

Veronica was confused. She scanned the area. It only looked like a huge orchard. "Where?" she asked.

"This is the library," Urulas told her.

"I only see big trees. Is the library invisible?"

"We are standing inside the library."

Veronica didn't want to argue with him. "All right," she said, "show me the library please since it's invisible in my eyes. I'm ready for the Elvish spell."

She imagined if she used the key, the ancient library would become visible. All the walls and bookshelves would become visible.

Urulas softly smiled. He pointed at the trees.

He told her, "All these trees are the bookshelves and the leaves are the scrolls you are looking for."

Veronica's jaw dropped. "These small leaves?! Can I even read what's in there?!"

She touched a leaf and it came out of the branch.

"Oh no!" She gasped. "I tore it from the tree."

"it's okay, you can put it back…. Like this…"

Urulas demonstrated by taking the leaf from her hand and putting it back by attaching it to the branch. The leaf attached to the branch on its own. No one would know if it was torn or not.

Veronica stared at the leaf as of she just learned a magic spell.

Urulas took another leaf and clasped his fingers around it. The leaf glowed inside her palm and turned into a green scroll.

Afterward, he handed it to her and said, "This is how you read it. Once you are done reading it, the scroll will automatically turn into veronica leaf. So, don't even think about stop reading until you finish it."

"This is amazing, Urulas."

She had no other word to describe this world. The Elven Realm showed her something that human magic could never do. There was so much she didn't know about them and every time she discovered something, it marveled her. 'There is no way Arthur can win against them without knowing what they are capable of,' she pondered.

She took the scroll from Urulas' hand and read the title.

The Chosen One

"Did you know," Urulas started, "you are the one we call 'the Chosen One' because you were chosen by the Great Dragon. And my father was chosen by the Great Dragon's opponent. "My father is known as the wisest ruler. His name, Erestor Culnámo, means bravest and wisest. You are each other's opponents. This is why he tried to create pressure on you. But it didn't seem like you were affected by it."

"Is this how it is?!"

Veronica was surprised. She didn't know there was a deep meaning behind her meeting with the Elven King.

"He went easy on you," Urulas said. "He must have realized that there is no point in making a dragon angry," Veronica joked. "I am happy that he didn't pick a fight with me or else I wouldn't know what to do."

Urulas stated, "He isn't a child. He will test you one day. Be prepared for it. And if you want to know how to defeat him, you need to read this scroll. It has all the information you need to understand why you are the chosen person and not someone else."

"I'm curious to know what's in there!"

Veronica unrolled the scroll.

In the meantime, Dastan met his father.
